Rachmaninoff’s hands

Rachmaninoff’s hands

It has been said that Rachmaninoff had enormous hands.
Judging from the pieces I’ve tried to play over the years (with limited success), I would have to agree.
The guy must have had mitts like the Jolly Green Giant.
Could Sergei palm a basketball?
Probably.
Could Magic Johnson play the Prelude in C-Sharp Minor?
Definitely not.
Check this guy out.
It’s not Sergei but he’s creative as all hell.
Thanks to Dawn for sending the link.

Oh, God, do I remember Borge. Talented guy.
There was a concert where a female singer asked him to follow her.
She began moving around the stage as she sang with Borge ‘following’ her pushing a grand piano.
Hysterical.

I have to be honest, the video took too long to buffer and at work where the connection is dynamite fast i don’t have speakers so i’m screwed either way, so i’ll have to believe those who did manage to see it 😦

on another note i see chaotic soul has been given the boot again? if you ever wondered why i spend so much time here, that’s the reason…it’s like going on holidays everyday…the ever revolving door of the enigmatic ~m’s theme and header…i never know what i’m going to find on any given day…
not unlike my avatar really 😆

As my grandfather always said to me, “you got ants in your pants.” I can’t sit still.
I guess I’m a sucker for new themes even if it is short lived. And I am forever in search of the perfect header. 😉
Too bad about the video. Strange thing is that this is a fairly short video compared to things I’ve posted in the past.
Re-boot your computer and give it another go. I think it’s worth it.

the connection has been slow for a few days and it’s starting to drive me nuts…but i’ll give it a go..
as for the header, well, i’m not convinced there is a “perfect” header…what seems good one day seems bland and boring the next…i for one like the ever changing scenery…adds character 🙂

Like pipe tobacco, there will never be something called ‘perfect’. . .
